Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will be allowed back in the House of Commons from question period Wednesday after being ejected for calling the prime minister a 'wacko.'
History was made in the House of Commons after Speaker Greg Fergus expelled Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for refusing to withdraw a statement calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a "wacko." David Akin looks at how the Tories are doubling down instead of backing down; how that remark compares to other tense moments in previous Parliaments; and whether Fergus can restore order to the House.
Instead, the Conservative leader said he wanted to replace “wacko” with either “extremist” or “radical leftist policy,” in relation to the B.C. government’s application to recriminalize the public use of illicit drugs after being granted a three-year Criminal Code exemption. “When they are called on breaking of all of the rules, they leave and say they’ve been gagged. Well, Mr. Poilievre, you have that in common with another person yesterday who walked out of a courtroom in New York saying he’s been gagged,” MacKinnon said.“These are the tactics of this very dark, extreme right-wing things that have come to Canada. And it’s very unfortunate.”
